You want to see something gross??  Okay so when we moved into our house almost 8 years ago,we came with what we had and it was all brown,gold with rust..and very small furniture for a very big room!

 

This is our bedroom. We fell in love with the house for so many reasons but the master bedroom was one of them. LARGE with vaulted ceilings. We ended up having to paint the house and at the time this was the color that I thought I wanted to make it feel warm and cozy.BROWN...It Never felt warm and cozy to me. On to next picture!

Do you see that in all the pictures,the furniture is WAY to small? There is nothing wrong with this bedroom suite.We had it forever and was the first piece of furniture that we bought when we got married (I think everyone bought this set!). But when I think of bedroom I think of hotel glamour! I love being in hotels and I think I could live in one if it was a nice one! I wanted it soft and plush with some bling bling. After convincing Mark again that I needed to paint it (he is so tired of the word paint) he finally gave in and we painted the new bedroom space and the bathroom. Now this is what it looks like now!

 

We stumbled upon this bed and the dresser at a boutique out near we live and it was just what I wanted.The problem was there were not any nightstands or a armoire for my hubbys clothes. I figured what the hay..he didn't need anywhere to put his stuff! Ha..So it was an amazing deal and after spending like hours there we decided "do it"..I had the room painted and already had the comforter on the old bed. I came home put the old bedroom suite on craigslist and sold it the next few days later.  Do you see the difference the bed makes with the room?  Yes it made this room the way it was meant to look.

 

I had the love sign already just took a frame and placed it in the middle.Gave a little more height to the wall. The comforter all came from JCPenny's (they don't make it anymore) and I am sad.I need another one from the dogs jumping on it and scratching and one side needs to be sewed soon but I still love the colors and the shimmering effect of it all.

 

 

 

This room took forever to get done.I had 4 different nightstands at home trying to decide which one's I liked and they never felt right.I love IKEA and looked at their website a lot trying to find the perfect ones. At first I thought I wanted all mirrored ones but once I got them home,just didn't like it.I think one nightstand I bought twice and took back twice because I couldn't make my mind up. It does take time but I wanted the perfect room and not just settle to get it done. The lamps were from Home Goods Store and the curtains were from Bed Bath and Beyond.

 

 

This is the fireplace that sits on the front wall.. Notice I painted it a gray color and the rest of the room is a silvery blue color. This is what you see when you walk in. I have big plans for this mantel and will be working on it this spring once it gets warmer. It needs height for the ceilings but once again it just needs the right thing and I am looking!

Believe it or not we don't even use the fireplace!

 

So here are the nightstands that we choose.They are the IKEA Balm collection and they are cheap but they look great once you add some pulls to the drawers.They are large enough for the room and have amazing storage for the drawers.They fit perfect when we got them home and put together.If you have ever put IKEA furniture together...you know it takes forever! It is still my fav store and I need to get a group of ladies and go soon!!!

 

 

Jewelry! I have so much and not enough space,so picked these babies up at target for 6.00 each (they are key holders) screwed them in the wall and there you go! Perfect and kinda out of sight since the mirror and curtain are there.

 

 

 

 

 

This is the dresser that I fell in love with that came with the bed.I love the old French provincial furniture with the curves and ball feet.I have treated this piece of furniture like it was my baby! I get upset if anyone lays anything on it or even takes something across the top! I will hurt you if that happens,ask my hubby or my kids.The drawers are huge and believe it or not I have more space then I did with the other one.I would love to get the TV off it and on the wall one day.

 

 

 

I took these pictures and made the word DREAM and placed it in this gorgeous frame that came from Kirklands.It hangs above my hubby's dresser and I did not take a pic of due to it's full of junk on top! But it is the same as the IKEA night stands.

 

 

 

 

On to the bathroom.I have big exp plans one day to change this all up.Get rid of the Jacuzzi tub that I HATE and put in a bear claw tub.Paint cabinets and different counters too.My brother is a wood worker and he has some plans for us to change it up but for now it will be like this until I get like 10 grand! I still love it for what it is though.It's serene and sassy at the same time.

 

 

 

Just goes to show you what a little paint and the right furniture can do for you room.Even that the furniture doesn't have to be the same type.Mix it up,go bold and don't be afraid.

 

Thanks for taking the tour! I am in the process of getting my new craft/office room ready for paint to be on the walls by next week!
